Happy New Year.

Some time ago I asked for some info on 40m sloping dipole systems, 
and several people were kind enough to reply.

I have done lots of work on this and ended up with four dipoles in 
the conventional configuration ; but driving any two adjacent dipoles 
in parallel, instead of just one. Whilst there is some loss of f/b, 
there is a clear improvement in forward gain (this is in practice - 
not theory) . This may be peculiar to my arrangement, but might be of 
interest to others using this type of antenna - hence this posting.

Anyone wanting more description - such as it is - please e-mail direct.

                73  Terry
